Well, Iā€™m not sure how Iā€™m feeling. Iā€™m pretty fucked up emotionally right now. I was diagnosed with dementia. I guess I knew it, but was hoping for a little more time, or I donā€™t know. It makes me angry because the impact it already has on my life is bullshit. I donā€™t know what to do. Itā€™s embarrassing. I see how people look at me with concern sometimes, or they think I just donā€™t give a shit about them because I canā€™t remember shit. The worst part is when people think they are helping and say they forget shit all the time. It doesnā€™t help, itā€™s dismissive, and it pisses me off. Iā€™m going to have a little pity party tonight and then pull myself up by the bootstraps tomorrow and come up with a plan.

Fuck my ex. Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him. Why the hell am I still kind to him :sob:

Oh Beth. I am so sorry to hear that. It must be quite a shock to get this news. I can totally understand why you are feeling so angry. And probably pissed off. Today you donā€™t have to do anything. Have that pity party. Talk to people on here. I know thereā€™s a lot of love for you here.

I donā€™t know why. But if you say fuck youā€™re ex. Then fuck him!!! Youā€™re probably nice to him cuz your a nice person.
Great job on your 260 days.
:pray:t2::heart:

That really sucks Beth. Iā€™m very sorry. Go have that pity party for yourself and Iā€™ll have one for you too. Thereā€™s a thread with things that can fuck right off and Iā€™m tempted to go add your ex to it. Rather than look for it, Iā€™ll add it here:
Bethā€™s Ex can fuck right off!!!

Checking in at the end of day 392
I had a decent day. I said my prayers, read my daily readings, did my grati-duding. Ate a little and drank possibly too many coffees. Had a good long talk with housemates throughout the day. We had our weekly counsellor led house meeting. Everyone stayed calm and are willing and capable of changing things so that we are all feeling safe and supported. Had a nice zoom NA meeting with my one time home group, was great to see them.
I am tired, it seems, all the time lately. I do not believe I have seasonal depression but I havenā€™t seen doctors. We are still in this covid crisis. Maybe my diet could use work. I have been slowly trying to fix these things and my patience is weaning. I sleep a decent amount and get excersise. I guess I need to slow down on more stuff. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Love yourself youā€™re worth it. Ya you!!

I am so incredibly sorry this is happening. It just fucking sucks. And yes, your ex can fuck right off.

I will say - what made me awestruck, more than hearing this awful news, is your reaction. I know itā€™s not about winning and losing, but if it was? You have so won this one. No matter what he did to you - he didnā€™t reach your essence, which is going to pull yourself up by the bootstraps the way only you can do. And you didnā€™t drink.

You didnā€™t hand over your power. You decided how you want to react to this. And your essence is not for the taking.

You are one incredible person. My shoulder and ear are here. :orange_heart:

Hey sweet lady, you know you are pretty amazing right? Those who canā€™t stand in solidarity with you when you need it, means they donā€™t deserve your fucks either. Save those for those that matter. You have no more fucks you need to give ever to dismissive assholes and worthless exā€™s.
Today have your party, however; I donā€™t need to say how far YOU have come. No one else gave you 280 days of sobriety you did. Which means that tomorrow, you will be able to to pull yourself up by your bootstraps because full circleā€¦you are pretty damn amazing. You have our support and understandingā™„ļø.
